the pic !
Well, after this statement I expected something like this (silent withdrawal of WiFi).
Comunity Managers statement:
We do understand that, but still the unreliability of Wi-Fi and USB makes us stay with the SD Card, for now ;).
Next week I will request a official statement from the reseller about this and announce to them that I will request my money back + expenses.
The V2 Hotend / Z-Glass story will be added as well and the german consumer rights watch will be noticed about this consumer fraud.

I love the way he phrased that to make it sound like Wi-Fi and USB are somehow inherently "unreliable", rather than just admitting that it is only Zortrax who cannot get them to work, lol.
3D printer made in Poland ?!?!?!?
FLY HKG >> FRA = Hongkong to Frankfurt on the PRINTER BOX
Designed in Poland, made in China.
hmm
It is kinda sad that it was removed without any announcement :( And in my opinion wifi's "unreliability" should not be a problem if it was going to be used for just transferring *.zcode files wirelessly with some sort of file corruption check on the machine side :/

there'd be enough if you can copy only the pure file on your SD card

Yup, that's what i'm talking about. Just dumb wireless file transfer :D

Can you provide more details as to what you're doing, that might help other people? You are using a wifi SD card?
Let's wait Zortrax to answer about that.
Maybe it’s a bad batch, with the module missing, and the firmware not detecting the wifi card do not show the menu entry (maybe I am just a dreamer, but this kind of thing may occur)
If not, I agree, that’s one of the worst way to learn that, and not good thing for them just before releasing the new Inventure printer.
About wifi sd cards, if someone already tried them, I am also quite interrested in the results.
I have just given zortrax for thought on how to solve the wifi problem

I'm just about to program a sd-card with that it might work, but I guess the problem is the root index /

I found some web articles about people using the Toshiiba FlashAir card with MakerBots, so I bought a card and followed the articles but it didn't work right away with the Zortrax. It might still be possible to get it to work, but I ran out of time to experiment with it.
the old printer with wlan modul and this new update (http://forum.zortrax.com/index.php?/topic/1918-new-firmware-version-006-beta-test-fix-for-hotend-v2/) removed the menu item in the firmware!

>> I think because of the root directory
wait.. i check the cards and hack the cards with linux :-)
If it works I will put a description in here or with a bit of luck I can even make a image flash for the sd card.
Yeah...in the video itself it looks more like an empty socket...with the outline visible on the mainboard.
But a better pic would definitely help.
I just purchased my M200 and it's missing the WiFi module, This tells me that Zortrax had no intention in adding the WiFi. Now it make sense, the module that they originally had was never going to work. I use those for my robots and they are very slow, these modules can transfer up to 46KB per sec, my last print was 12.5MB that would take about 5 Minutes to transfer. I think I will need a big discount on my new machine. I think it's time that Zortrax come clean with the WiFi issue, they have not being truthful with us.
I want to hear from Zortrax and explain this to us. Its time, the cat is out of the bag.
I believe based on a picture that I seen on the web, that they used this module:
